QUOTE(cablesguy @ Sep 15 2006, 10:05 PM) Anyone here got stacker 830, care to share experience after owning one? Yeah, would be interested to hear too. Am planning to build my high-end gaming rig with the Stacker 831 (black, and possibly do some modding, maybe WC too), and would like to hear of experiences. Was concerned about the size of the 8800GTX cards, fitting into the 831/830 which I heard is not that roomy on the inside. But then again, the casing has just been certified by Nvidia as 8800GTX SLI ready, I suppose it shouldn't be an issue.

I wonder, as Nvidia has certified the 830 to be dual 8800GTX ready. So it's really too small for 8800GTX's huh?
I was (or maybe still am) hoping to do a 8800GTX rig with the Stacker 830/831. I do have the original Stacker STC-T01, but that's reserved for my server to house all my HDs.
The Silverstone, TJ07 is nice too, but my plans were to use the Stacker's external drive bays for:
2 Optical drives (2 bays) Icy Dock removable 5-in-3 HD cage (3 bays) Hardcano 13 fan controller/card reader (1 bay) Programmable LCD display (1 bay) Custom light switches (1 bay) For a total of 8 bays.
The Stacker has enough but not the Silverstone TJ07. I had considered the Aerocool Baydream case, but prefer the look of the 830/831. Still, the Silverstone can support 2 PSUs, so I may sacrifice a drive bay slot for a 2nd PSU, so I don't have to go and find a 1000W PSU for my rig, and go for 2 smaller PSUs. Though with most of my HDs in that Icy Dock cage, I'll end up with just 1 HD in the TJ07's 6-slot internal HD cage (5 HDs in the Icy Dock).
